whats their history? like, obviously there aren't any lops out in the wild (as far as i know of) so where did they come from? like, if they were the result of certain breeding, what breeds caused the floppy ears that we all adore today??

We've always felt that they we're brought here by Aliens to infiltrate bunnydom with their cuteness and take over.

Lop Bunnies Among the oldest breeds of domesticated rabbits, lops are known for their distinctive floppy ears. Mini lop eared rabbits are the friendliest and cutest rabbits you will ever come across, except of course for the far superior Flemish giants. Also the breed has a very wide range compared to most. These particular rabbits will do well with children above the age of 5. The rabbit may turn aggressive if played with too rough when they are younger.
There are five types of American Rabbit Breeders accepted lop varieties as well as a few other breeds being created. The ARBA recognized lop breeds are the French Lop, English Lop, Mini Lop, American Fuzzy Lop and the Holland Lop. In the UK the Dwarf Lop is the equivalent of the US Mini Lop, and the US Holland Lop is called a Miniature Lop in the UK. In the US, two of the proposed new breeds that are under development are the Velveteen Lop which is similar to an English Lop with a Rex rabbit's plush fur, and the Plush Lop which is similar to a Mini Lop with plush Rex rabbit fur.
